Your benefits from using Therminol® D-12 in your thermal oil systems

  • Heating or cooling operation – Therminol® D-12 is ideally suited for combination heating and cooling applications and delivers excellent heat transfer rates even at -45°C. Batch processes will benefit from the excellent cooling performance Therminol® D-12 delivers. Therminol® D-12 can also  be used as a secondary coolant or "brine" in refrigeration loops where a broad range of properties is desired.

  • Easy operation – using Therminol® D-12 avoids the problems of using multiple fluids in the same piece of equipment.

  • Low cost – Therminol® D-12 delivers better thermal performance at lower cost than many competing fluids.  

  • Low odor and excellent toxicity profile – Therminol® D-12 is NSF registered with HT1 status, surpassing requirements for use where there is the possibility of incidental food contact.
